The statute of limitations does not apply to fraud or tax evasion. Also, there is usually no statute of limitations for failure to file a return, so to be safe you may want to keep the first two pages of all of your tax returns as proof that you did in fact file.
Obviously this is not expert tax advice--for one thing, expert tax advice would point out that any 'copies' of a tax return you possess imply absolutely nothing about their having been timely filed--or ever filed.
Actually there's nothing to suggest they're "tax cheats".
Having a city pension doesn't automatically mean you have to file income taxes, nor does SS.
Some states (Michigan until recently) don't tax SS income either.
Personally I would say that the OP would be better served by concentrating on their own family, and not being jealous of someone else's situation.
Public employee pensions are mostly taxable by the IRS, therefore it is probable that the OP's "friends" should be filing returns. My California teacher's pension is enough to trigger federal taxation of my small Social Security benefit, although most states do not tax SS. I pay substantial federal tax on my pension, which is probably smaller than the OP's friend's husband's law enforcement pension. Therefore, I would "suggest" (without knowing for sure) that they are actually tax cheats. However, I think your final sentence probably still applies here.
